A typical Pt100 RTD probe Luckily, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are an excellent alternative.

An RTD is a temperature sensor that operates on the measurement principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes with temperature.

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “ DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to ...

The RTD RTD’s contain a resistive element whose resistance changes with temperature. Most elements are either platinum, nickel, or copper. A platinum RTD provides the best performance because platinum ...

Turck introduces the TS530 temperature sensor, the latest addition to the company’s temperature sensor line. Featuring an integrated resistance temperature detector (RTD), the TS530 combines the ...

In a typical resistance temperature detector (RTD) measurement application, the delta-sigma converter often is configured in a ratiometric topology using a constant current excitation source.

The hockey puck-style SB-PT100 resistance temperature detector (RTD) transmitter extends the company’s Generation II family of wireless sensors based on low-power mesh networking sensor technology.

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

RTD Probes (Resistance Temperature Detector Probes) are comprised of pure metal (usually platinum). As the electrical resistance of the metal increases, the temperature increases.

In this first article in a two-part series, we discuss resistance temperature detector (RTD) circuit design for a functionally safe system and introduce considerations for the Route 2S component ...
